SPECIAL EXPRESS RATES. 



No one person has sy ecial expr^s- rate- more than anyone else in the same 

 line. For in^-tai ce, all plants an 1 trees, and nursery stock of whatever nature, 

 packed in box»-s or cratrd, hav-- a rating of 2<v; less th*n merchandise rate. To 

 illustrate, a box of 'try yoods, hardware, or any ot'ner merchandise of a certain 

 weight which would cose to any given point $1 00, if it were nursery stock, 

 plants, etc., would be carri-d, f° r ^0 cts. This applies to every grower, no mat- 

 ter whether they ship hundreds of tons, or only a single package. Those who 

 claim to have a special rate low< r than others, simply misrepresent the facts. To 

 ascertain whether or not you are being over charged when paying expressage on 

 plants, ask your ayent to look up the merchandise rate from Salisbury, Md., to 

 your express office. You weiyh your shipments, calculate the amount and de- 

 duct 20^. This will give \cu the amount you ought to pay, and if you have 

 paid more than this, you have paid too much and more than they have any 

 right to charge you . We frequently have inquiries concerning the-e matters, 

 and I name the above method of finding out what the charges should be, to save 

 correspondence, as you can find out a*, your express office as well as I can here, 

 and a great d^al quicker, because you have the one shipment to make inquiry 

 after, while I would have hundreds of them.
